The Story Is Not Over Yet by Joel F

The Story Is Not Over Yet -https://joysofjoel.wordpress.com/ Staring at the blank moving wall,  now called wallpaper, memories keep flashing like a movie scene.   I’m still in a state of confusion as to what usually follows after finishing the sentence not with a period but with a colon that never belong to a conjunction of a subliminal past and paradoxical present. i truly cannot understand why…
